With cxf-codegen-plugin maven plugin you can create a client of the soap service quickly by adding these dependencies:

            org.apache.cxf
            cxf-rt-frontend-jaxws
            2.4.2
        
        
            org.apache.cxf
            cxf-rt-transports-http
            2.4.2
        
        
            org.apache.cxf
            cxf-rt-core
            2.4.2
        

and adding this build section:

org.apache.cxf cxf-codegen-plugin 2.1.2 generate-sources generate-sources wsdl2java ${basedir}/target/generated-sources/cxf ${basedir}/src/main/resources/wsdlfile.wsdl -client -wsdlLocation -p com.package.for.generated.classes

then inside ${basedir}/target/generated-sources/cxf you will have classes required to call the web service and an example of how to do it.

Hope it helps!
